[debian-mysql] Bug#1104463: Bug#1104463: Package: mariadb core dump at start

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Control: title -1 mariadbd: Server GSSAPI error, gss_acquire_cred failed

Thanks for reporting!

I would like to know if other people are experiencing this?

Can anyone provide a reproducible test case?

The error log shows MariaDB 11.8.1 starting and doing crash recovery.
This is an indication that the previous shutdown was not clean.
However the error log shows that the crash recovery completes.

The actual error lines are:
2025-04-30 14:39:19 0 [Warning] mariadbd: GSSAPI plugin : default
principal 'mariadb/k2000.jpp.fr@' not found in keytab
2025-04-30 14:39:19 0 [ERROR] mariadbd: Server GSSAPI error (major
458752, minor 2529639093) : gss_acquire_cred failed -No credentials
were supplied, or the credentials were unavailable or inaccessible.
Keytab FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab is nonexistent or empty.
2025-04-30 14:39:19 0 [ERROR] Plugin 'gssapi' registration as a
AUTHENTICATION failed.

After that it shuts down with signal 11 and produces a crash dump.

What is the output of these commands:

 dpkg -l | grep -iE 'maria|mysql|galera'
 find /etc -name '*mariadb*' -ls -or -name '*mysql*' -ls | sort -k 11

Was this system using Kerberos/GSSAPI for authentication?
